In regards to eating meat

[βαθμιαίος]

For me, it's about taking steps toward evolution and growth. I will always choose the food which causes less harm.

I basically agree with this, except that I would quibble a little and say that I try to choose the foods which will promote health and healing (rather than causing less harm -- ie stating what I want instead of what I don't want). (You'd probably say the same.)

Precisely. It's an intuitive thing, heart based. It doesn't need intellectualisation.

I basically agree with this, too, but again, my intuition leads me somewhere different than yours leads you.
